As a result he has spent all of his 19 months of life in the hospital. Katie spends every day with him, trying to mother him from next to his hospital bed. I am aiming to tell the story of the extraordinary young mum.

"Dancers of Mysore"<br />
Mysore Dusshera is the Nadahabba (state-festival) of the state of Karnataka. It is also called as Navaratri (Nava-ratri = nine-nights) and is a 10-day festival with the last day being Vijayadashami, the most auspicious day of Dasara. Dasara usually falls in the month of September or October. According to a legend, Vijayadashami denotes the victory of truth over evil and was the day when the Hindu Goddess Chamundeshwari killed the demon Mahishasura. Mahishasura is the demon from whose name; the name Mysore has been derived. The city of Mysore has a long tradition of celebrating the Dasara festival and the festivities here are an elaborate affair and attract a large audience including foreigners.

"Bingo Culture"<br />
In 2010, I hit the road to photograph America solo; living out of a tent and bringing along my dog for the ride. While traveling in Maine, I discovered a Bingo hall and it provoked a curiosity about a subculture that I was aware of. What I discovered was a community of dedicated players who travel to the same place, set up in the same spot, and bring along the same good luck charms with the hopes that this will be the day they win big. It's a place where hope and despair come hand in hand. I decided to visit Bingo Halls in every state I traveled to. Each location I encountered would bring in a true sense of community, complete with a unique set of personalities and characters. As I continued my travels and visits to Bingo Halls across America, I realized I was looking at a cultural phenomenon that will be lost to future generations.

"Rite of Spring" (Series)<br />

Through this series I hope to evoke a feeling of nostalgia and rekindle the respect that planet Earth deserves. The photographs were taken with an infrared filter, which is light unseen through the human eye. Infrared literally means "below red" because it is at a frequency which is lower than red (the longest wavelength of visible light). The everyday scene is now transformed into something majestic and memorable. This series reveals beauty within the unknown by exploring the beauty in what has already been created. Moreover, it is about reestablishing a relationship with and within nature on a first-hand experience that I encourage you to explore for yourself.

They have been given the quote, "the eyes are the windows to the soul," and have also been told, "think about what you aspire to. Your dreams, what you see yourself doing in the future, and where you are." It is my hopes to generate feeling, and a sense of honesty, that is able to be interpreted through the eyes, with the assistance of facial expression.
